go to www.akc.org They have a great Jr. Showmanship program and you don't need a licence to show a dog unless you are a professional handler. I show my dogs and other peoples dogs and am not a professional handler. Here are some sites that can help you chose a show to go to. Jack Onofrio Dog shows and Kevin Rogers Dog Shows There are other Dog show superintendents but these are the two I use. Dog showing can be lots of fun. Good luck.
